Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
System Information
Operating system and graphics card:
Windows 8.1 Professional (64-bit), GeForce GTX 780 Ti (for detailed info see attached 'system-info.txt')
Blender Version
Broken: 2.76
Worked: 2.75a (presumably, not tested, but not even noticed it)
Short description of error
Inactive (greyed out) UI elements on the screen are clickable, and some of them even initiate actions as well. Almost all of them - not tested ALL, but any of them tried until now shown this false behaviour. Expected behaviour: greyed out items shouldn't be clickable, nor they are supposed to do actions.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
I'll show the problem only by ONE UI element.
--> Notice the following:

That's by design. There is an inactive state and a disabled state, only for the disabled state is editing strictly disabled. In the inactive state the button is greyed out to indicate that the feature they influence is disabled, but you're still allowed to change the value.
The UI guideline is that buttons should only be disabled if strictly necessary, for other cases it's convenient to be able to edit values in arbitrary order without having to switch tabs back and forth or turn other options on/off.
Oops. Then sorry for your time :(
No problem, that's just part of the process, it's not always obvious what's a bug and what isn't.
